Winter Dawn

Winter, Book 3

By: Alex Callister

Narrated by: Lorelei King, Ell Potter

Meet Winter: she’s the audacious, hyper-intelligent GCHQ agent with more notches on her bedpost than James Bond and more hacking cred than Lisbeth Salander.

Winter Dawn is the third instalment in the Winter series, journeying back to the beginning of her story. This time, she’s grappling with Colosseum: a sinister online phenomenon that has gripped the world. It promises a massive cash prize to the successful hunter of its victims, unleashing an unstoppable tide of violence - and the world’s authorities are powerless to prevent it.

When a New York senator is targeted, Winter is called in to protect her. But with all the world watching, there’s nowhere to hide. No one has ever survived Colosseum. It’s the winter solstice and as they journey together into the dark heart of the longest night, they soon discover that nothing about Colosseum is what it seems.

There are rules and there is a purpose, if only they can solve the riddle in time. Colosseum is more than a hunt: it’s a challenge. Targets must face their darkest fear or die at dawn.

Winter Dawn is the third instalment in the Winter series - the first of which was Audible’s Thriller of the Year in 2019 - and journeys back to the beginning of her story.

My two favorite narrators!

Always love to listen to Ell Potter the sexy Brit and old fav Lorelei King ! This series keep getting better - you’ve gotta love Winter !!

nice meeting you Ell Potter

Well, hello Winter. It was nice to meet you. This was my first in the series known as Winter. She was a lot. She was action. She was intensity. She was smart. She was cunning. She was an agent. The intrigue she was wrapped in made me want more of her. I would have liked to have meet her from the beginning. I wont say that I missed anything by beginning with book three, but I would say that I wanted to know her before this slam introduction to the chaos of her world. Even with this being the beginning of her career. It was not the beginning of her stories from Alex Callister. The writing was deep, intelligent, strong, luring, and even at times nail biting.

I would say a warm welcome to Ell Potter. Your voice is new to me and much enjoyed. I feel you pulled the genre off just right. You made me feel the intensity of Winter. I could feel the grit of the various characters. Thank you.

Full of nonsense plot holes that don’t tie to the previous books

Story makes no sense at any level, pull any thread and this unravels. I was a big fan of the first 2 books but this one is just bad and ruins the whole series.

Spoiler alert!

Winter can’t kill and has been using rubber bullets, Complete nonsense

The adjudicator is member of GCHQ, why doesn’t winter just call her handler when she figures this out? And somehow this person has more money than any global government? How? Like in what way is this ever conceivable?

A group of a few hundred hunters can seemingly beat the US military complex on US soil. So so so stupid, if the navy seals could be bought why wouldn’t well funded groups just buy them off.

Anna is a split personality, come on, give us a break

Why?

Everyone reads these books for Winter, not whatever this was. It's So incredibly disappointing!
